Chapter 476 - Northern Continent (1/2)

”I am fairly certain that your friend is cursed, but if you want me to be 100 percent certain, then I'd need to see the patient so I can personally examine his condition.” Li Shizhen suddenly said.

”Uhh…”

Li Shizhen's words took Yuan by surprise.

”I-I'm sorry, but that's impossible,” he said a moment later.

”Impossible? Why?” Li Shizhen raised his eyebrows.

”My friend comes from a super secretive and strict family, so getting even close to him is near impossible. Furthermore, he lives in a place that's very, very far away from this place.”

”Oh, and something happened to his family recently, so it's even more difficult to see him now…” Yuan made up some random excuse.

After all, it was not like he could tell Li Shizhen the truth about his situation, as he'd sound crazy.

”Is that so?” Li Shizhen doubted Yuan was telling him the truth, but he didn't say anything about it, as there must be a reason why Yuan was acting this way.

And he continued, ”Well, I don't really need to see your friend since you told me that he's already recovering, and I have cured many people without even seeing them— only by listening to their condition and symptoms.”

”Thank you for understanding. Anyway, if my friend is really cursed… Is there any way to remove this curse?” Yuan then asked.

”Why don't you just let him drink some of your blood, Young Master?” Feng Yuxiang spoke for the first time.

Yuan looked at her and sighed, ”He's not like you, Feng Feng. He's human.”

”But that shouldn't matter. I'm no expert, but your blood clearly has the ability to weaken curses. It shouldn't have anything to do with being a human or not.”

Li Shizhen then said, ”Your blood has the ability to weaken curses? I have never heard of this before. How are you so sure his blood has such abilities, Madam Feng?”

Feng Yuxiang then explained to him about her condition, ”I drank his blood and the curse on me weakened, so I know it works.”

”What? Is that true? Your curse weakened?” Li Shizhen looked at her with wide eyes.

”Yes. Why would I lie about this?” Feng Yuxiang nodded.

”Heavens…” Li Shizhen mumbled in a dumbfounded voice.

”A-Anyways, since your blood has capabilities to weaken curses, as weird as this is going to sound, if you let your friend drink your blood, it could possibly work.”

Yuan showed a bittersweet smile on his face.

Does this mean he'll have to drink his own blood? Even though he already has such blood flowing inside his body? This doesn't make any sense to him.

”I-I understand… But what if that doesn't work?” Yuan then asked.

”Are there any more natural methods for getting rid of curses?”

”Hmm… I may have some knowledge regarding curses, but I know someone who's an expert with curses. If you'd like, I can take you to him so you can ask him yourself. He's not that far away from this place. We can get there in just a few hours.”

Yuan pondered for a moment before nodding, ”Okay, just give me a minute to let the others know.”
